Putnam Farm, Historic farm in Brooklyn, Connecticut
The Putnam Farm property spans 9 acres of agricultural land with a substantial house built in 1750, featuring a gabled roof and clapboard exterior.
Major General Israel Putnam, who fought in the French and Indian War and American Revolutionary War, purchased 500 acres from Massachusetts Governor Jonathan Belcher in 1739.
The Federal period house includes two separate structures with traditional woodwork, fireplace mantels, and eight bays across the main facade with two entrances.
The farm sits along Spaulding Road, east of Connecticut Route 169, surrounded by rolling fields and stone walls that mark the property boundaries.
After Joshua Collins acquired the property in 1839, his family maintained ownership for over a century until post-World War II land divisions reduced it to 9 acres.
